Where should be the Murtis kept? 

The Ganesh Laxmi murti is often associated with the north direction of the house. That is due to the story that is of the birth of Ganesh. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Ganesh was first beheaded by Lord Shiva. He did it completely out of anger. After lord Ganesh died, Parvati was inconsolable, and she got furious and asked Lord Shiva to bring Ganesh back to life. Therefore Lord Shiva ordered his followers or his army to go in the north direction. He ordered them to get the head of the first animal that they saw facing that direction. It is when they all find an elephant. The army of lord shiva cut the animal's head, and then they implanted it on the body of lord Ganesh.

The best place for the pooja or the worship of Laxmi Ganesh idols is the northeast corner of the house in which a person is living. This place is often known as the pooja mandir, in which the deities are often placed. Many people often believe that a sitting posture is the best for doing the pooja, while other people believe that this does not matter much.
